I had a Star Wars one of these. Wish I had kept it.

I had a ton of these, mostly Disney shorts, but also some Sesame Street and Looney Tunes. Lost the viewer, but found the carts a year or so ago while cleaning out a room in my folks' basement. Sold the carts in a lot, but wondering now if I shouldn't have kept them and gotten a new viewer! I had that Lonesome Ghosts cart for sure!

My head is just filled with GREAT memories.

Here are some more I loved as a kid.

1)"Kenners Girders And Panels

Loved building entire cities

2)Etch A Sketch

3)Rat Fink Figures

Everytime I went shopping with Mom I asked her to get me one from the gumball machine.

couldn't play hockey to save my life but we spent so many hours playing this.  Fond memories all the way around.

My older brother had all of these and when he'd wrestle me into his room, close the door and turn off the lights their glow-in-the-dark action would scare the #@%! out of me!

I forgot about these. I did have The Mummy

Learning with 8-track tapes. Does this count as a toy?

All 1970’s electronics (toys for sure) have that certain look and feel to them that’s unmistakeable.

Some of this is older but model kit and car are from the sweet spot.

No idea, but I did own a Quiz Wiz with - naturally - the superhero trivia questions cartridge. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to play with me...

I still have one of these and the Transport you hooked to the back of it stored at my parents house in their original boxes.

Loved this.....turned you into an instant artist.  Still have it.

Still have this in the box as well.  Two people could play at the same time.....head-to-head.

OMG YES!

My grandmother got me this. Best toy money she ever spent as I clocked more play time on that than anything else. 

There’s a lot of toys that I loved HAVING, but this this is probably the one I actually played with the most. 

I would always use the demon plates but not rub the graphite over the tail and try and color him like the Creature from the Black Lagoon,   

I actually had mine after my grandmother died, but my mom stored it in an outside storage shed. Exposed to heat and humidity the labels peeled off. And it was missing a half dozen plates. 

So I got rid of it...which I now kind of regret.

I think you might be thinking of Scorpio from the Major Matt Mason line? It’s a super cool one to own if that’s him.

 

here's a police sketch of my best memory of the action figure:
